That dance, drawn from the epic Daredevils of Sassoun, is carved across this walnut backgammon set in astonishing deep relief: a line of figures mid-step, arms linked, caught at the exact moment joy becomes defiance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the most demanding thing a carver can attempt — human bodies in motion, each one distinct, each one turned slightly differently, all of them cut into solid walnut without a single break in the line. Stand it in the light and the shadows move as you move, so the dance never quite stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside waits a full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm nardi field — a handmade Armenian backgammon board carrying the one thing every Armenian family knows: you survive, and then you dance about it. This is not a board that gets put away in a cupboard. It gets a place in the room and a story told about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackgammon board with bronze hinges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 checkers made from beech and walnut wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA matched pair of dice and a carrying bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolded for storage: 11.8\" x 23.6\" \/ 30 x 60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen playing size: 23.6\" x 23.6\" \/ 60 x 60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 11 lb \/ 5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: solid walnut wood with bronze hinges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Armenia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe victory Dance of Sasun master-carved in deep relief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFigures in motion, arms linked, cut into solid walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull 23.6\" \/ 60 cm nardi field inside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of the workshop's most demanding pieces — handmade in Armenia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CanarianCanary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53098200367424,"sku":"100404","price":5129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/5551\/9552\/files\/4668.jpg?v=1788438699","url":"https:\/\/canariancanary.com\/products\/dance-of-sasun-carved-walnut-backgammon-board","provider":"CanarianCanary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
